Fix Width Extension

Make websites more readable!

You know those sites that haven't *really* entered the modern era, you know, the ones that have text going from the left edge of your screen all the way to the right.

They're very unreadable, its hard one your eyes and brain to follow those long lines of text from edge to edge. You can choose between three different widths!

With this extension you can just make the website thinner, and put it in the middle of your screen with one click. Now its much easier to read --- its easier to keep track of lines, and easier on your brain and eyes. More like a book.

Release Notes:
- v0.2.0:
